# erase_selection_entities Erase/delete all drawing entities contained in the named selection set. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `erase_selection_entities`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/erase-selection-entities ## Facts - Tool: `erase_selection_entities` - Server: Pypi:best Cad (`pypi:best-cad-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y pypi:best-cad-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/LokmenoWer/best-cad-mcp - Risk category: Destructive (Critical risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Hidden ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "erase_selection_entities", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why erase_selection_entities is rated Critical This tool performs irreversible deletion of drawing entities in AutoCAD, which cannot be undone programmatically and represents permanent data loss. While AutoCAD may have undo capabilities, the tool itself commits destructive changes that destroy design work. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'erase_selection_entities' and description 'Erase/delete all drawing entities contained in the named selection set' explicitly indicate irreversible deletion of CAD drawing entities." ## Use case AI agents call erase_selection_entities to permanently remove resources in Pypi:best Cad, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Pypi:best Cad: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "hide": [ "erase_selection_entities" ] } ``` ## Other tools on Pypi:best Cad (320) - `clear_spatial_annotations` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/clear-spatial-annotations.md - `clear_understanding_cache` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/clear-understanding-cache.md - `delete_entities` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-entities.md - `delete_entity` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-entity.md - `delete_layer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-layer.md - `delete_named_view` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-named-view.md - `delete_selection_set` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-selection-set.md - `purge_drawing` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/purge-drawing.md - `remove_hyperlink` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/remove-hyperlink.md - `build_drawing_ir` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/build-drawing-ir.md - `check_runtime_environment` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/check-runtime-environment.md - `execute_cad_plan` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/execute-cad-plan.md - `execute_query` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/execute-query.md - `execute_sql_query` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/execute-sql-query.md - `highlight_entities` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/highlight-entities.md - `pan` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/pan.md - `plot_preview` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/plot-preview.md - `plot_to_device` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/plot-to-device.md - `regen` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/regen.md - `reload_xref` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/reload-xref.md - `render_drawing_view` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/render-drawing-view.md - `restart_mcp` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/restart-mcp.md - `restore_named_view` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/restore-named-view.md - `revolve_region` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/revolve-region.md - `select_on_screen` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/select-on-screen.md - `send_command` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/send-command.md - `set_active_layout` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/set-active-layout.md - `set_active_ucs` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/set-active-ucs.md - `set_variable` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/set-variable.md - `zoom_all` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/zoom-all.md - …and 290 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
